After two years, Matthew Langer is still getting over the death of a loved one. He’s steered clear of serious relationships, but when he meets the irascible, dirty mouthed and tempestuous Shane Templar that decision has never been harder. Shane is sexy, warm and funny, and Matthew finds himself trying like hell not to care about him. Especially when Shane, with his quick wit and hacking skills, is quick to stand up for justice and avenge wrongs. Then Shane strikes at the wrong target, and Matthew realises just how far gone he already is. At the threat of losing for good yet another man who’s broken through his armour, Matthew finds his heart stripped bare. He must face the demons of his soul or a future without love.

The man stood, leaning against the door, his slim frame outlined against the light of the A and E waiting room. Matthew could appreciate him more now. His broad shoulders filled his suit to perfection, tapering down to lean hips and long legs. He looked wiry and lean. Matthew could see the faint glint of golden chest hair at the opening to his shirt.

The lawyer’s stomach lurched, and the turmoil in his groin was growing. He cleared his throat. “Can you tell me what you and David were doing earlier to make you think he was upset or in danger?”

Shane’s suddenly sly smile and lascivious look caught him off guard.

“What we were doing? He had me tied down to a bed and was jerking off over me.” His taunting words went straight to Matthew’s groin, the images being conjured up enough to make his cock strain against the front of his trousers. He had a feeling it was exactly what the other man was trying to do.

Shane glanced down at Matthew’s groin and grinned. “Well, well, look at that,” he said. “And here was me thinking you were so self-contained and controlled, Mr. Lawyer Man. Being so officious and all.” He moved closer and Matthew could smell the definite scent of some oriental fragrance mixed in with what was definitely sex. The man reeked of it. Matthew’s nostrils flared.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to shower afterward, as David was upset and I was trying to calm him down. Then I got distracted.” Shane’s eyes watched Matthew’s throat as he swallowed. “So I think I might smell rather rank.” His fingers lightly brushed Matthew’s hand, and it was as if a live cattle prod had suddenly been shoved at him.

Matthew growled and moved away. “Thank you for sharing that with me. Yes, I’m gay too. So now we’ve joined the ranks of the exalted brotherhood together, can we get back to this all being about David?”

About Anne Barwell

Anne Barwell lives in Wellington, New Zealand. She shares her home with two cats who are convinced that the house is run to suit them; this is an ongoing “discussion,” and to date it appears as though the cats may be winning.
In 2008 she completed her conjoint BA in English Literature and Music/Bachelor of Teaching. She has worked as a music teacher and a primary school teacher, and now works in a library. She is a member of the Upper Hutt Science Fiction Club and plays violin for Hutt Valley Orchestra.
She is an avid reader across a wide range of genres and a watcher of far too many TV series and movies, although it can be argued that there is no such thing as “too many.” These, of course, are best enjoyed with a decent cup of tea and further the continuing argument that the concept of “spare time” is really just a myth. She also hosts other authors, reviews for the GLBTQ Historical Site “Our Story” and Top2Bottom Reviews, and writes monthly blog posts for Authors Speak and Love Bytes.
Anne’s books have received honorable mentions four times and reached the finals three times in the Rainbow Awards. She has also been nominated twice in the Goodreads M/M Romance Reader’s Choice Awards—once for Best Fantasy and once for Best Historical.
